Tiger 'shot' at Yorkshire Wildlife Park after man gets inside enclosure is alive - latest from police

The tiger seen mauling a man who had gotten inside the enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park has survived, say police.

Shocking footage has emerged of a man inside the enclosure at the Doncaster attraction and the tiger, visibly disturbed by his presence, attacking the man who is seen shouting at the animal to stay back. The popular wildlife park will remain closed throughout today and the rest of tomorrow.

Visitors reported hearing gunshots as they were ordered to leave the park shortly after 1.35pm. The speculation prompted fears from the public that the animal had been shot dead to protect the man. South Yorkshire Police have confirmed that the man has suffered serious injuries as a result and they are working at pace to find the man's family.

According to this, the Tiger is alive, and the interloper is dead.

Apparently yelling “Stop, tiger!” doesn’t work very well. That’s good to know.

He died of his injuries in the last few hours.

The tiger is fine, not shot, rhe bangs heard were tear gas canisters to drive the beast back.

I wonder what compelled the man to get in with a tiger? Perhaps he never read any of Jim Corbett’s books about hunting man-eating tigers in India.

What did he THINK was going to happen? Was he planning to go in and...

1) Pet the big kitty cat
2)????
3) Get millions of views on Tik-Tok?

He failed to properly consider what part 2 entailed.

Yeah, wish Harambe situation would have been the same with him surviving (and of course the little kid would survive as he did, also).

Sheer idiocy in the name of internet popularity is rampant, and resulting in all kinds of mayhem and death. Absolutely 100% with the tiger on this. Tragic for the guy’s family, but when you provoke a deadly animal the range of responses includes said animal attacking and killing you. I thought this was more widely understood...

Honestly, they need to post signs that say if you enter the cage, you will be shot.

“Tiger ‘shot’ at Yorkshire Wildlife Park after man gets inside enclosure is alive - latest from police”. Shot the wrong critter, he’s nuts.

So I think it’s three major problems in that one idiot’s journalistic abomination. Three FReepers had to counter the errors.
